With our scientific hats firms in place, for this week's Readers recommend we'd like to put together a playlist of songs about rodents – mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, capybara (there's got to be loads of songs about capybara, right?) – whatever the rodent, we want to hear songs about them. Rabbits aren't rodents, by the way. And we promise, no more animal themes for the rest of the year.

Post your suggestions for the best songs about rodents below and we'll assemble the ones we like most in a playlist next week.

If you want your nominations to be considered for our playlist next week, post them before midday on Monday.

Each week the playlist will be compiled by a different volunteer from the Readers recommend community. To increase the likelihood of your nomination being considered:

– Provide reasons why it's a worthy contender.

– Quote lyrics if helpful, but for copyright reasons no more than a third of a song's words.

– Provide a link to the song. We prefer YouTube, but Spotify, SoundCloud and Grooveshark are fine too.
